[Bug 1900361] Re: attempting to install 20.04 LTS on older PC

[Steve Langasek]

Your partman log shows that your /dev/sda has two partitions.  This is
not the disk configuration expected for a 20.04 system by default.  Did
you choose manual partitioning from the installer?

Were you given an error message on your screen?  That message doesn't
appear to be included in the bug report, can you paste it?

Your logs also show a strange block device of /dev/mapper/ventoy, can
you tell us what that is?

Title:
  attempting to install 20.04 LTS on older PC

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Was merely going through the steps as usual to do a clean install of
  Ubuntu 20.04 on an older PC when I encountered this error at the
  select boot loader install stage and I tried doing another full
  erase/format then reinstall but this time it generated the option to
  send this trouble report. Seems to be an issue at the moment of
  formatting the selected drive. It is currently plugged in via internal
  SATA connections, it's a 280 GB SATA laptop drive. I'm thinking it may
  have possible bad sectors perhaps??
